What You Need for Bakery Style Sourdough Muffins

Dry Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus 1 tablespoon to coat the fresh berries)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

• 1 cup sourdough blueberry muffins starter base (unfed discard)
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Step-by-Step Instructions for Your Sourdough Discard Blueberry Muffins

Step 1: Prepping the Sweet Dry Ingredients

Next, grab a large mixing bowl to combine your main dry base elements. Then, throw down your flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and fine salt together. Also, whisking these items thoroughly ensures that your leavening agents distribute perfectly throughout the flour mixture. Afterward, set this bowl aside while you work on the rich liquid components.

Step 2: Mixing the Tangy Wet Elements

Next, take a medium bowl to handle your wet base ingredients. Then, measure out your starter and blend it with your whole milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Also, you can easily pair these breakfast treats with a refreshing morning drink from our orange-lemon-ginger-turmeric-shots guide. Then, whisk the liquids together until the mixture looks completely smooth.

Step 3: Folding the Lumpy Batter with Care

Next, pour your smooth wet ingredients directly into your bowl of dry components. Then, use a silicone spatula to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Also, you must remember that leaving small lumps in the batter is completely fine for a tender texture. Afterward, you have the option to try make ahead sourdough muffins by chilling this thick base before adding your fruit.

Step 4: Baking to a Sweet Golden Crisp

Next, preheat your oven to 400°F and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly. Then, toss your fresh berries with a tablespoon of flour and fold them into your thick batter. Also, if you love sweet morning treats, you should look at our banana-split-breakfast ideas next. Finally, scoop the batter into the tin and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
